On hearing Stacey last words, Nick began to run back to the mansion.
The sun had set and it was dark, it was much darker when he got to the house.
Other workers were already out side, oblivious of Celine who was not in their midst.
“What happened?”Nick asked
“We were all having fun and just then the lights went off, we had no idea where the problem and so we came out side”One of them replied
“Where is Celine? Where is she?”Nick asked hoping that she would amongst them but when no one knew where she was, he ran into the house, not caring if the place was in darkness.
He stumbled over some things before he made it to the lift.
“Celine! Celine! Just answer me Celine”He said hitting the lift doors
“Nick!”It was a whisper and he knew that she must be suffocating in the lift just as Stacey has stated.
“Hang in there, I will get you out”He said and ran out of the house, heading to where the light transformers were located.He found the switch and pulled it back on.
“The light had been powered off intentionally”He muttered to himself and knowing that Celine was still in the lift, he ran back to the house and saw Stacey just running in
“Where is she Nick?”Stacey asked but he wasn’t in any mood to respond, he was only thinking of Celine, he thought as he ran into the house with Celine trailing behind him
When the lights were turned on, the lift had moved to the next floor and instead of taking the next one, he took the stairs two at a time and he stopped when he found Celine on the floor.
He ran towards her and held her in his arms, she must have gotten out when the lift door opened. He thought as he cradle her slim body in his arms
“Celine! Wake up”he said to the unconscious Celine who layed in his arms.
“Common Celine! Wake up please! Wake up”He said shaking her.
He hugged her close to him about to lift her up when he heard her call him name.
He pulled her back to see her starring at him.
“Nick! oh Nick” she said as she hugged him tight.
Nick could finally breathe in, he thought as he hugged her tight, for a while he thought he had lost her!
“It was so scary Nick”She said softly and he held her more tightly.
“Am here now, am here”He said as he pulled her close, as if his life depend on it.
They were still hugging each other when Stacey and the other workers ran up the stairs.
“Celine! Are you okay?”Stacey who had been crying said as she knelt in front of Celine, hugging her tight.
“Am fine!”Celine replied softly
“Oh I thought some thing had happened but am glad….an glad to see that you are okay”Stacey said
As if she didn’t weigh a ton, Nick carried her in his arms
“Celine is still shocked, why don’t you take care of the workers and I will see to it that Celine is okay”he said to Stacey.
With out waiting for Stacey reply, he walked the few paces that led to her room and gently put her down on the bed.
Celine sat on the bed starring at Nick who was now down on his feet wanting to pull off her shoe.
She moved her leg away and he stared at her still having that worried look on his face.
She like it that he was worried about her and she also liked it that he had saved her, she knew he had been the one who turned on the lights and had saved her from suffocating to death and she would always be grateful for that but her legs….ever since her accident, she never let any one touch them not even Stacey, it made her feel strange and ……
“What’s wrong ?”Nick voice broke into her thoughts
“I don’t like People touching my leg”She said as she tried to stand up but he pushed her gently on the bed and took hold of her leg again.
“You would have to get used to me touching it Celine”He said and she her heart did that stupid thing again.
It began beating fast and when she felt him touch her leg, she could feel some strange sensation,some thing she never felt before.
“You have got to let the past go Celine and to do that you must first forget the tragic accident” he said as he finished pulling off her shoes
He stood up and bent in front of her, he was close to her and she moved back to stare at him.
“Am glad I came on time and am glad that you are okay, sleep well Celine, you need the rest “He said and slowly he moved close to her, starring at her lips, she was sure that he would kiss her and she closed her expecting the kiss only for her to feel him kissing her forehead.
She opened her eyes to see him smiling down at her
“Have a good night sleep”He said and turning off the light, he walked out of her room, leaving the door opened.
It took a while before Celine could calm her racing heart down.
Just what is this? Why is she feeling this way? She has never felt this way before not even when she was dating mark, so why now and what should she call this strange feeling of hers, she thought as she layed on the bed and she was still thinking of him when she slept off a while later.
Nick went back down stairs and found Stacey talking to one of the maid,looking worried
“How is Celine?”Nick asked
” She is fine,asleep as it is. What’s going on?”he asked
” You need to see this ?” Stacey said walking into the open study
“You said the key was always with Celine ?”Nick said as he walk in with her
“It all happen when the lights went out, seems like they had some thing else in mind too”Stacey added as she pulled out the cabinet that was locked earlier.
Nick walked towards it and saw that some paper had been taken.
“Seems like they came for the document too”Stacey finished.
Nick felt so angry, knowing that Bruce and Zack were behind all of this made him do angry.
Not only had they steal a document which wasn’t theirs, they had almost killed Celine too.
He was more angry about them trying to kill Celine than them stealing the document.
“What are we going to do Nick,some files which belongs to Celine father had been stolen and they had almost killed Celine too, they will surely come back for more Nick, we have got to do some thing about it ” Stacey said
“They won’t have to come back,keep a way h on Celine, I will be back soon”He said leaving the study with Stacey trailing behind him
” Where are you going? What do you intend to do?”Stacey asked
“I will set things straight Stacey, just take care of Celine, I will be back soon”he said as he began to head out
“Take care of your self, please!”Stacey said after him but Nick was already out of the house.
He got into the car and dialled Bruce Number and on the third ring Bruce Answered
“Did you call to tell me if some thing happen? How is Celine?”Bruce asked with out Nick telling him a thing.
He knew, he knew Celine was hurt, he knew some thing happen, he knew because he was behind it.
“Are you at home or at work?”Nick asked
“At work and you haven’t…….”
“I will be there in a bit”Nick said cutting the phone.
He was so angry, furious at Bruce for trying to steal some thing which is not his and also for putting Celine in danger.
Some how he knew that Celine safety matters to him and that he would do any thing just to keep her safe from cultures like Bruce.
He got to the office and went straight to the elevator, it took him up to Bruce office, he walked in with out knocking and the alarmed Bruce stared at him.
“Nick! What brings you here? “Bruce asked
“You very well know why am here?”Nick replied, glaring at the older man
“What do you mean? Why are you even…..”He couldn’t finish talking because Nick grab him by the collar pulling out of his seat.
“Tell me why?”
“What are you talking about?”Bruce said still feigning ignorance
“Why the hell did you have to put Celine’s life in danger just for a mere document, tell me why!!”Nick yelled pulling his collar tight.

(AT THE HALL)
“Dearly Beloved,” the elder began, ” we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join Alpha Derek and Lady Diana in matrimony commended to be honorable among all; and therefore is not to be entered into lightly but reverently, passionately, lovingly and solemnly. Into this – these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together – let them speak now or forever hold their peace. “
He continued, “Friends, we have joined here today to share with Alpha Derek and Lady Diana an important moment in their lives. Their time together, they have seen their love and understanding of each other grow and blossom and now they have decided to live out the rest of their lives as one.”
“Do you Alpha Derek, take Diana, to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you two part.”
“Yes, I do.”
“Do you Lady Diana, take Derek, to be your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you two part.”
“Yes. Yes, I do.”
” It’s time to put each other the ring.” The elder instructed.
” I Derek give you Diana this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you.” He fixed the ring into her finger.
” I Diana, give you Diana this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you.” She did the same to him.
At the final declaration, the elder said. “By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you alpha Derek and Lady Diana husband and wife. You may now kiss each other. “
He ended with, ” I present to you the newly married couple
Everyone stood up with an applaud as the couple lead out.
After the matrimony was over, Diana’s eyes went all over in search for her parents. Even with the now over grown bumb, she walked up and down. Now that she has seen them, she ran to give them a warm hug.
Derek had ordered some people to stop her but, she didn’t listen but kept running. Mrs Craig, her mother held her mouth in fear, but did that seem to bother Diana?
No…
She ran to them, throwing herself in their embrace. ” Diana, you will hurt the baby. ” Her mother gave her a look.
” Mom, don’t worry, the baby is fine. “
” Well, that isn’t an excuse to me. If you wanna die, then not my grandchild. “
” Mom, you don’t care about me anymore? “
” I do, but it seems like you don’t care about yourself. Come here, give me another hug. ” She chuckled, pulling Diana to herself.
” Dad, how have you two been all this days. “
” We’ve been doing great. Though, your mother keeps mourning you until Kent told us you were alive with the wolves. “
” Mom… ” She stressed the word. ” Do you wanna kill yourself? “
” What do you expect? I thought I had lost my only child and daughter. I have to, it’s not like I loved what I was doing. You know what, whatever. It’s your day, let us jubilate it. “
” Why don’t we sit at the high table. I know my husband will be expecting us. “
” Yes, sure. Sure. “

Chapter 48:
“ DIVIANA… LUCAS… ”
( Seven Months Later )
“Call me my mother! Call me my mother! ” She cried in pains.
“But, my lady. You… ”
” I said, call me my mother!” She yelled at the nurse who did that Immediately.
Not quite long, her mother walked in straight to her side.
” Hold me tight, don’t let me go.” She said in pains and tears.
” I will never leave you my love. I’m here for you, okay? ” She assured her.
She nodded continuously while the nurse asked her for a push.
She screamed, her grip tight on her mother’s hand. She kept gasping for air.
The nurse ordered for another push which she did. Again and again, this she went on until something like a head was seen.
“I see it. I see it. One more push my lady.”
“Ahhhhh!!!”
There came the cry of a baby filling the air.
“What do we have?” One of the nurse asked.
“It’s a girl!”
Diana stared at her mother who offered her an assuring look that everything was gonna be okay.
Soon, Diana felt pains in her stomach like something was kicking her.
“There’s another!” A nurse informed. “There’s one more.”
Diana looked at her mother weakly, she wasn’t sure if she could endure it this time. She needed to rest, but the being in her wants to leave.
” Kiara, I thought you said it was only a she! ” She echoed not minding the people around her.
” Sorry, I forgot to mention there was a he too. “
” Oh my God, I don’t think I can hold this anymore. Mother… ” She pressed her hand tight.
Mrs Craig rubbed her palms softly, tears dropping out of her eyes. She can’t do this, she needed some rest.
“Okay. You need to push hard, my lady. Push!”
She held her teeths firmly together. Her body stiffened in each push. It was time for the last push, she gathered her strength, her eyes turned purple.
” Diana, this is the last… you’ve got to push. ” Kiara whispered in her head.
” I’m trying, Kia. I’m trying, okay. “
The other her was ready, Kiara has to help her.
She gave the hard push…
She breathed heavily.
“What do we have?” A nurse asked.
“It’s a boy! ” Replied the other.
“I wanna touch my babies.” She said dully and they brought the two infants to her side.
They laid them beside her. She couldn’t stop from staring at this creatures, they were beautiful, they were gorgeous.
“Do you want to feel them?” She asked.
She nodded her head. ” Yes, yes. Oh my… goodness. ” She held them both in her arms, humming one of those lullabies she always sang for Diana when she was little.
” Aren’t they beautiful?”
She nodded.
Derek entered, looking astonished at his two little kids on Diana’s arms. ” Come, Derek, look what we have. ” Mrs Craig said,
He came closer, He took his male child into his arms, holding him tight from falling. He loved babies, but he has never taken one into his arms so he fears he might hurt his child.
For the first time, a tear fell from his eyes. He has never thought of being a father. Now he is, what kind of father will he become?
“He’s beautiful. They both are so beautiful. My bloods, my futures. “

( Six years later )
Diviana ✓
” DIVIANA! ” I heard mom called but I paid deaf ears to her, running down the hallway. ” Diviana, I said, get back here, will you?! “
I stopped, stamping my feet angrily to the ground while I heard her approach me. ” Mom… “
” Don’t you ever mom me, okay? I said get back to your room and stay with your brother. ” She pointed towards the direction of my room.
” But mother, Lucas can take care of himself. Besides, I just wanna play. “
” You just wanna play, ” I notice her eyes look on my legs. ” And you aren’t putting on your shoes? Divia… “
” But this is not outside the castle… “
” Can you stop exchanging words with me and do as I said? To your room, now! ” She pointed.
” But mother… ” I tried to say.
” I said, don’t mother me… “
” Diana, take it easy. ” Cax said, touching her shoulder.
” Take it easy? Did you even listen to her? No, she is going into her room. And woman, what are you still waiting for? ” She said, throwing me a hard gaze.
” Fine, I’m going.. ” I scoffed, murmuring to myself as I headed back to my room.
” Hey Divia… ” Lucas tried to say but I cut him short.
” Shut up. ” I banged the door close.
Diana ✓
” You have to take it easy on her, besides she’s still a kid. “
” No, she’s stubborn. ” I corrected.
” That trait didn’t just come from nowhere, she must had gotten that from her mother. “
I eyed her, ” That was years ago. “
” Traits doesn’t give a damn how long it was or has been. It flows, and I think you just passed that down to her. ” She chuckled.
” No, I was stubborn, but not as stubborn as she is. ” We started to my room.
” I bet yours was worst. Cos if I can remember, yours resulted to you getting bitten. “
” Oh, maybe I must have forgotten. “
” Thank God I reminded you. “
” Uh-huh… “

The morning has surfaced, we were both awake sitting on the bed. Derek was busy with his laptop, while I sat busy with nothing. I was still contemplating if I should tell him about Kiara’s discussion with me or if I rather keep it to myself.
I don’t even know how to start it but… I really need to have this discussed with him now. I sighed.
” Derek, ” I called him.
” Mm-hmm. “
” Can we talk about something? “
” Right now? ” He asked, his eyes still on his laptop.
” Yeah, right now. “
He stopped what he was doing, shutting his laptop close. He adjusted himself, that we were sitting face to face.
” Okay, I’m listening. “
” I uhmm… ” I started with a pause. ” You know, I was wondering, we haven’t gotten married yet and, I’m almost… so close to giving birth. So, I was thinking if we might discuss about our union. What do you think? ” I don’t even know what I’m saying.
” I thought about that so, I decided on hosting our marriage next week. But I didn’t wanna push it too forward without getting your opinion first. And you know, I didn’t wanna talk about it in your condition. “
I sighed. ” It doesn’t matter if we have to get married with me being pregnant. It’s much better if I may say. “
” You’re scared people might take me away from you? “
” No… I.. I mean of course not. ” But the look was just too obvious to tell, leaving him to laugh at me. I found myself laughing too.
By the way, why would I be scared?
Everyone of course knows we are mated already. Or, am I being too concerned because of guests yet to come for the wedding. You know, those pretty ladies who thinks they are better than everyone in the world.
Gosh… I guess I’m overthinking right now.
” Yeah, I’m scared, a little tho. ” I confessed.
” It’s okay to be scared. But you’ve got to believe this, I’m never leaving you for anyone. Not after what we’ve started together. “
I nodded in relief.
” You wanna talk about anything else? ” He asked again.
Hold on… Did he just…
” You just read my mind, didn’t you?” I pointed at him.
” It was too much. I mean, your thoughts are too much and they are bothering me. “
” I’m sorry, I… Maybe I won’t ask again. “
” No, go ahead. “
I exhaled, rubbing my palms. ” Last night, I thought about this but, I don’t think you might approve it. Can you just read my mind, please? “
” Diana you know I can’t do that. It’s your privacy, I don’t wanna invade it. If you’re being too shy to tell me, maybe you can anytime. “
” No, I want to have it discussed now. I… Okay, it’s about my parents. I was thinking maybe you can permit them to attend the ceremony. I just wanna see them, even if it’s for the last time. “
He smiled. ” Don’t worry about them, I already sent them an invitation. “
I chuckled, scoffing. Gosh, I’m damn surprised. ” Oh my goodness, Derek, you’re full of surprises. Thank you so so much, I love You. I love you. ” I threw myself on him, causing him to rest on the bed.
” I’m grateful for what you did, Derek. You definitely don’t know how happy I am. “
” Whatever makes you happy, makes me happy too. “
This time, it was I who pressed my lips on his, kissing him passionately.

” Damn it, kiara you’re hurting me. ” I grunted at the hot pains in my belly.
” Sorry, she’s too stubborn just like you. I’m trying to calm her down but she’s too… “
” Ahhh…” I cut her shirt with my yell. ” Kiara for damn sake make her stop!! ” I yelled.
” I’m trying. I think… “
” You think what? “
” I think she wants to pull out. “
” Pull out? ” I repeated. ” Pull out where?! What’s that supposed to mean? “
” I don’t know. I think she wants to leave your womb.”
” Then make her know it not the damn time yet. I’m … Oh my God, I feel like passing out. Kiara!! “
” For God sake, Diana, I’m trying!. “
” Then keep trying!! ” I held the lower part of my stomach, pushing myself to lay on the bed. ” This is the most painful moment of… my… life. ” I said in clenched teeth. ” Whew…” I breathed, in and out.
I did that again and again as if that would help. And indeed it did. ” Kiara, ” I called with a warning tune. ” Don’t you ever, ever again play with her. Understood?! “
” Yes, boss. “
I exhaled heavily, resting my back on the bed. ” Whew… “
*

That night, I sat happily at the varenda. I always go there each time I wanted to be alone. I wanted to think, to be outside the universe.
I never expected Derek to have done what he did. Every other alpha will try to show how angry they were when humans are being mentioned, humans different from their mates.
But Derek just proved how different he was to other alpha’s. First, he respects my privacy. He never reads through my mind without my permission. And now, he just approved the idea of letting my parents attend our marriage.
Did I just said approved? He has already send an invitation letter to them??
Good God, I’m so fucking excited right now. Finally, I was gonna see my parents once again!
